I'm just wondering. For those who have travelled with Ethiopian Airlines, would you recommend them or would you fly them again in future?
Hello House. Wow, it is looking a lot like Christmas over here. Congrats to the people who recently received PPR.
Just an update on my application before I leave the forum...
We finally got PUM today after 33 days. I’m not sure why it took that long, seeing as the visa was issued on the 16th of November as per MyCic but all well and good.
Goodluck to everyone still waiting. I hope your prayers are answered soon.
ET is clean. however I didn't like their food and my friend who also used them after me said same.I'm just wondering. For those who have travelled with Ethiopian Airlines, would you recommend them or would you fly them again in future?
I would not really call it a mess.Congratulations! I hope AVO stops this holding of passports for a long time so that we can spend the holiday with our families. After waiting 14 months for a decision, holding ones passport for another month is a mess.
Still sounds like a mess to me. Especially with seeing people whose visas have been issued as seen on their gc accounts and get their PUM weeks later. There are people whose PUM are issued within a week or less of submitting their passports because AVO is trying to beat the expiration of their medicals. I don't believe they would compromise on security because they are trying to beat the medical expiration so if they can do all those verifications and issue the visa within a few days then it is strange that it can't be common practice for them, Its unusual but we have come to see it as normal along with many other things that happen with AVO. Well, no one can really tells what goes on within those walls but I can just speak for the type of feelings it elicits.I would not really call it a mess.
They usually verify the PCC sent along with the passport, and for those with multiple travel history and PCC, it takes a longer time.
Ideally, PPR comes last,after final verification, but AVO has deployed the plan of requesting everything together, and holding on to the passport, to keep people silent.
This week, a forum member got PCC request after PPR. Some even get medical request, after PPR, if the medical has not been posted, by the hospital.
AVO will not issue PUM, if background check is not complete, and if all PCC are not complete.
I hope that AVO conduct verifications faster, and do things right.
@bbccanada Please how much it costs to send a package to AVO from ghana?Hello members, yesterday we were talking about the DHL and I think anyone who goes to Accra should take a chance to send everything right there very fast and convenient. My wife went to do medical yesterday so I told her to send everything in Accra instead of going back home to send. The package was received at DHL facilities in Accra yesterday around 12.30pm and it was delivered the sameday AVO around 3:15pm when I checked the tracking number this morning was signed by Nabi Jones. Thanks in advance for reading

I sent them an updated police clearance yesterday via DHL but it was a colored photocopy, was it a wrong thing I did???its the original copy
It sure is Grace..cos myCIC account shows that they have completed everything regarding my file and even issued counterfoil number..I don't know What's keeping The, from sending me pickup mail knowing very well that I have less time to travel before my medical expires..It’s Grace .
What we did after receiving our request for Police Clearance, Medical and PPR all at the same time:I sent them an updated police clearance yesterday via DHL but it was a colored photocopy, was it a wrong thing I did???
I flew from Canada to GhanaI'm just wondering. For those who have travelled with Ethiopian Airlines, would you recommend them or would you fly them again in future?
Sounds awful! They have a lot of bad reviews but I guess it's expected for their pricing.I flew from Canada to Ghana
experience was interesting.
Poor performance with the aircraft team and employees
plane was delayed for hours we were to depart 7am we did not leave Canada until 2pm by the time we left the connecting flight had left Addis Ababa.
we had to sleep in Ethiopia for the night and the horror with organization for the hotel stay let me not start.
we had a bus collect the passengers around 6am then we boarded and went to Accra that flight was abt 5 hrs
so my normal 14 hours flight and just 1 transit with other international flights went into like a 3 day event
so if this is the first time for your partner who has never flown with international flights I will not recommend I rather recommend KLM much easier for first timer.
Rating for Air Ethiopia rated out of 10
-Clean plane and comfortable - 9/10
-food out of 1/10- I did not bother to eat as the container food was in ..slightly open
-schedule (NEVER ONTIME) 1-10
